Sens. Steve Daines (R-Mont.) and Angus King (I-Maine) reintroduced the Gateway Community and Recreation Enhancement Act.

This legislation would create a pilot program to share real-time visitation data, redirecting visitors from busy national parks and public lands to lesser-known recreation areas.

Gateway communities would also receive support from the Department of the Interior to address infrastructure challenges. Anglers will benefit from better fishing opportunities created by this this bill.
